NOTE
Sp itting the signa using the SMA T does not preserve the 50 W
environment. As a resu t, you wi see aberrations of the signa due
to this impedance mismatch. The aberrations are of no conseĆ
quence for the examp es. However, to obtain accurate measureĆ
ments, be sure you sp it signa s using a 50 Wpower divider to
match the impedance of the test setup.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the inputs do not attempt to measure any
signa s greater than 3ĂV peak-to-peak with the TDS 820 with
